Chapter 18: The Burning Earth

Before the girls could talk, the transporter opened the hatch, and the J10 tactical plane quickly warmed up and started its engine, flying out of the transport, and then they saw the huge Deathbringer Titan.

Horus

The massive god's machine moved slowly but firmly, each time the steel foot landed, it caused a huge tremor, and dozens of tactical planes flew around the titan like a symbiotic waterfowl on the edge of a rhinoceros.

Cui Yifei's communication channel sounded again, and her hoarse voice brought her order: "I am Captain Ibes of the Death Messenger, Second Lieutenant Cui, in the name of the Titan Commander of the Expeditionary Force, I order you to provide cover for my Titan." ”

"Understood" Cui Yifei saluted solemnly, and then gave an order to her team, and the tactical aircraft quickly completed the formation and marched towards the west with the Titans.

With the help of the expeditionary force, the entire counterattack column completed the assembly and training in three days, but the soldiers who received the new weapons were still not proficient in using them, but time was running out, and the counterattack column had to board military vehicles and drive to the planned attack on September 4.

At 8 o'clock in the morning of September 5, nearly 100 artillery pieces of various calibers roared at the same time, firing the first shot of the counterattack campaign. There was no light-level interception, and the cannonballs fell into the beta group without reservation, boom, boom, boom, this is the first time since the beta evolved the ray-level that the cannonballs can completely hit this group of disgusting aliens. Amid the roar of artillery fire, the infantry of the column began to attack upstream along the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Under the cover of the tactical aircraft, the Titan moved his massive body as the spearhead of the attack, and the explosive bolt turret and laser cannon on the Titan's shoulder opened fire violently, constantly spewing deadly flames.

In the sky above Titan, the Storm Eagle gunboat and Star Eagle bombers continued to support the attacking ground units with various airborne weapons, and waves of plasma bombs blew up most of the Beta on the offensive route, and hundreds of thousands of plasma bombs had been used up just for the support of the feint.

This human offensive has attracted great attention from the Chongqing lair, and the momentum of the counteroffensive is extremely strong, after the connection between the mind level is considered to be cut off by psionic energy (the means of the Qianzi Tianxiao School think tank), it has to use the original communication unit to communicate with the main nest located in the KS, but due to the attack speed of the counterattack column is too fast, it has rushed into 500 kilometers in one day, which makes the Chongqing lair feel a great threat, and the communication with the KS lair is too slow so that the mind level has to solve it on its own.

In the end, it decided to hedge against the rioters and counterattack columns, and the BETA production line inside the lair was produced at full power, and a large number of chariot classes poured out of the nest, and the assault and volley classes continued to assemble, and even the huge fortress class appeared more than a dozen.

A large number of alien signals were naturally captured by the Angel's Tears in orbit, as the information was sent to General Gao Feng, who was following the main force forward.

Looking at the data board in his hand solemnly, the two generals have the same idea, they can't win, the number of BETAs is too much, and the scale of the counterattack column of more than 30,000 is too different compared to the million-level BETA. No matter how you think about countermeasures, they will be useless in the face of absolute superiority in power.

"Is it really going to be delayed?" General Gao pondered, this is Karen Val, who followed the counterattack column to attack, walked up to the two generals and said:

"The assault force of the expeditionary force has already set off, and it won't be long before the lair will be destroyed, the only question is, how are you going to defend against such a large number of aliens?"

Karen took the data board from General Gao's hand and continued: "It won't be long before these Betas will be overwhelmingly passing us, the Forward Command has seriously underestimated the number of aliens, before the battle the company commanders estimated that the aliens were at most one million, but now the number is at least six times the estimate. ”

Hearing that there were at least six million, General Gao was even more worried, even with the fire support and titans of the expeditionary force, it was absolutely impossible to deal with so many aliens.

"There's no way," Gao Feng shook his head, "we can only hope for you." The enemy has an absolute superiority in numbers, even with a large amount of fire support, it is impossible to resist, and we have too few men. ”

Karen Val was silent for a moment before saying, "There is a way to directly destroy all the Betas near Chongqing's lair, the only question is whether you are willing to make sacrifices. ”

"How?"

"Call the battleship for orbital bombardment with its main guns." Karen Val pointed to the sky. "It only takes one shot to scorch the entire 80,000 square kilometers of land in Chongqing, and only the core of the nest buried deep underground can be spared. But it will take at least a few decades for the land to recover. ”

General Gao walked out of the makeshift tent and looked west, this is Zhangjiajie, more than 500 kilometers away from Chongqing, and there are more than 6 million BETA in these 500 kilometers.

Gao Feng lit a cigarette, just looked at Li Fuming, who had just returned from the post, and told him the solution, and burned his homeland with his own hands, this kind of decision is not so easy to make.

But in the end, after many discussions, the united front decided to do so, and Gao Feng opened the communication channel tremblingly, and the communication officer on the Angel's Tears connected the communication.

"I am Lieutenant General Gao Feng of the General Staff of the United Front, and I ...... I asked for orbital bombing. ”

"The Coordination Department has received that the bombardment will be carried out with the Chongqing lair as the center, please stay at least 500 kilometers away from the lair."

"The counterattack column received," turned off the communicator, and Gao Feng began to organize a retreat with Li Fuming, and the counterattack column retreated nearly a hundred kilometers after a few hours.

The battalions then began digging trenches in preparation for the shock wave from the bombardment. Lieutenant Cui Yifei looked at the logistics staff in a daze, tying up his tactical aircraft to prevent the big guy from displacing in the impact.

She was exhausted from a day and a night of fighting, and although Stormwind Squad didn't face many enemies, they were all large species.

A team member patted Cui Yifei's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong, eldest sister?" ”

Cui Yifei turned around and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect to retreat so soon." ”

While the Storm Squad was chatting, the Angel Tears in Earth orbit was slightly adjusting its attitude, the power of using macro cannons for orbital bombardment was too great, as long as the deviation was a little larger, the entire counterattack column would be turned into ashes along with the million BETA, and only the Titans would survive the aftermath.

The gun deck was busy with the sides of the battleship as it was aimed at the surface, and a high-explosive shell from a macro cannon was being filled into the chamber with the combined efforts of manpower and loaders, and this shell was so large that the loaders standing next to it for fine-tuning were like ants.

After the adjustment, the hydraulic system of the automatic loader began to hum, and the shell was pushed into the chamber little by little, and with a click, it was completed.

After receiving the order from the command center, the commander of the gun gave an order, and the huge macro cannon mechanism was triggered, and hundreds of tons of shells silently flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the predetermined target.

On the ground, the peak looked up at the sky, and a huge pop streaked across the sky and fell into the west. This was followed by a huge mushroom cloud rising into the air, and about half an hour later, a violent shock wave swept across the makeshift camp. A large amount of dust was kicked up, and even a military vehicle was moved, and the trees around the camp rattled, and some of the smaller trees were directly broken.

General Gao Feng lay on the ground and waited for the shock wave to end, this power has surpassed the most powerful weapon in human history, even if it is 600 kilometers away from the attack, it has been greatly affected.

After the shock wave ended, Gao Feng stood up and looked around the camp, the entire camp site was in disarray, and some unsecured objects were scattered everywhere.

Li Fuming looked at the fireballs and mushroom clouds rising in the distance, and now he understood why the expeditionary force dared to use only a small number of ground units to dare to deal with the BETA of the whole earth, as long as the expeditionary force still held the control of the orbit, no matter how powerful the surface was in front of the expeditionary force, it would be a floating cloud in front of the expeditionary force.

Company Commander Karen Val crossed his hands over his chest and looked in the direction of the orbital bombardment, he was sure that there would be no living creatures on the surface there, and that a single bombardment would be enough to turn it into a blank field.

He turned to the two generals of the united front and said, "When the aftermath of the bombing is over, we will take the tactical aircraft unit to see the Chongqing lair, there should not be many resistance forces there, I think you should be very willing to drag out the brains in the lair and shoot them." ”

"That's right," Li Fuming said, "we'll tell BETA that we'll take back everything that belongs to us." ”
